Hello,

yes I think the v1.02 could be released once everything seems to work. And
mopac7-0.1 is at the same situation.

Ok, it's just good to test all this stuff.  :)

Currently the compile/link settings are taken from pkg-config and I think
that should be more or less ok. But what is still completely missing is
the tests for existence of these various packages in the configure script.
So if you add any of these tests, please send me a note so that I can
duplucate them in other places where the tests are needed. Currently

ghemical-1.01+	needs to test	mopac7, openbabel

libghemical	needs to test	mopac7
ghemical>1.01+	needs to test	mopac7, openbabel, libghemical

Also the current build systems are quite similar in these different
versions, which is helpful. So let's discuss about changes, and duplicate
them as much as possible, so that we could keep it that way.
